Chapter 487 Zero Food
Under the faint sunshine of September, the weather is not so hot anymore. On platform 9, I saw the Hogwarts Express stop there, blowing black steam, and the platform was crowded with students and their families who were saying goodbye.
A man wearing a porter's hat that caught Alan's attention was Alastor Moody—the real Mad-Eye. With his hat pulled low over his asymmetrical eyes, he limped toward the train pushing a cart full of boxes.
Behind him, Harry, Ron and Sirius and some members of the Order of the Phoenix.
"Thank you, Alan." While passing Alan, Sirius approached Alan, and an almost indiscernible sound of thanks reached Alan's ears. Harry wanted to come over to say hello to Allen, but Moody held his shoulder.
Allen nodded slightly, watching the hurried team quickly walk past him.
Allen didn't have the burden of saluting with big bags and small bags, and easily took his little sister Emily by the hand and got on the train. Unlike before, he had to go to the prefect's compartment at the front of the train first this time instead of The rear of the train is assumed to belong to Allen's carriage by default. Therefore, Allen took Emily directly to his own compartment at the rear, entrusted Emily to Luna, who felt a little unreliable, and then gave some instructions before leaving in a hurry.
In the prefect's box, the prefects of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff are all in place, but the Slytherin's are still missing.
After staying in the box for a while, Hermione stood up.
"We should patrol the aisles occasionally," Hermione said to Alan. "We need to maintain order."
"If people do bad things, they can be punished. I really want to catch Crabbe and Goyle something right away." Ron and another Hufflepuff prefect Ernie McMillan muttered.
Hermione heard it, glanced at Ron sternly, and pursed her lips tightly, looking exactly like Professor McGonagall.
Padma Patil, another Ravenclaw prefect wanted to patrol with Allen, but seeing Hermione and Allen both going out, they still didn't go forward.
"All the prefects are a man and a woman," Hannah Abbott, another Hufflepuff prefect, stepped forward and took Padma's arm, "but obviously we can match freely when patrolling. .”
Padma smiled at her kindly, and the two walked out of the box.
Seeing this, Ron and McMillan also followed behind them. The two of them patrolled very carefully, the first time Ron had been given such a duty, and Ron was quite conscientious. Just when they slowly patrolled to the middle of the train, there was a loud noise of rattling in the aisle, and the smiling saleswoman with dimples looked at them: "Honey, do you want to buy the one on the train?" what food?"
McMillan rubbed his belly and carefully selected.
"Zizi honey candy, spicy crispy rice chocolate, pepper urchin, jelly slug..." For the first time, Ron felt the joy of wanton shopping. The largest pocket money.
"You bought so much, didn't you have breakfast?" McMillan looked at the pile of snacks in Ron's arms in surprise.
"A bit hungry, but we can share, can't we," Ron said, singing excitedly, "candy always makes you friends—"
As soon as Ron sang, he heard the door of the box next to him being opened, and Pansy appeared in front of them with a sneer, she turned sideways, and Draco came out triumphantly with Goyle and Crabbe.
Ron suddenly realized that he had made a mistake singing just now, and that behavior might be a bit stupid.
"Aha, only you can do such a stupid behavior, Weasley." Draco said slowly, his eyes swept to the snacks in Ron's arms, "Tell me, the first time on the train How does it feel to buy something?"
"Shut up,
Malfoy. Ron puffed out his chest, revealing his prefect badge, "Otherwise I'll give you a taste of confinement." "
"Prefect, Weasley?" Draco drawled, "Unfortunately you don't have authority over me."
With a smirk, Draco took out a green prefect badge from his pocket and brought it to his chest. Pansy beside him also took out a prefect badge and put it on.
"It doesn't matter if you have a badge, you're still an idiot, Malfoy. So please go away and don't mess with me, Crabbe and Goyle are not prefects." Ron threatened not to be outdone.
"I heard that you robbed the prefect that should belong to Potter, please behave yourself, because I will follow you like a hunting dog to see if you dare to deviate." Draco said with a proud smile, raised With a pointed chin, he glanced at Ron contemptuously, turned and left.
Although Draco was arrogant, he didn't really provoke Harry. He knew that Alan didn't like to trouble Harry, but he didn't say he couldn't bully Ron, and Draco noticed that Seeing that Allen, like himself, doesn't like Ron.
Pansy led the bumbling Crabbe and Goyle to the food cart to buy some snacks, then returned to the box and slammed the door behind her.
"I've always thought Pepper Boys are the best in the candy bag. They're mints that make your ears smoke." McMillan pretended not to see Ron's flushed face, and changed the subject to try to ease his anxiety. Awkward.
On the other side, after watching Hermione deal with a few little wizards who were playing with crackling shells in the aisle of the train, Allen walked straight to the compartment at the end of the train.
In the box at the end of the car, Allen saw not only Emily who was holding "The Quibbler" and watching it with Luna with gusto, Harry who was sleeping on his stomach beside him, and an old acquaintance——Remus ? Lupine.
He was standing at the door of the box, looking at Allen with a smile.
"Professor Lupine, I'm so glad to meet you." Allen stepped forward and offered his hand.
As soon as Lupine grabbed Alan's hand, he patted Alan's shoulder with the other hand, "I'm also very happy to officially serve as the professor of your Defense Against the Dark Arts class again. The substitute time at the end of last semester was too short. .”
"Professor Lupine, although I personally like your course very much. But in fact, you shouldn't come back this year, especially in the current situation." Alan pulled him into a low voice when shaking hands with Lupine Said: "Now Fudge is trying to find trouble with Dumbledore. If your identity is known by them, I'm afraid they will use it as an excuse to attack Dumbledore and then intervene in Hogwarts."
"I also have such concerns, but this is Dumbledore's arrangement. Dumbledore told me that Fudge wanted to send his people to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year. Dumbledore argued with them, and finally Taking advantage of their mistake in the unprovoked attack on Harry by the dementors, they finally succeeded in overruling their proposal. Now Fudge can only let the official who originally managed the dementors—the witch Dolores Umbridge Entering the school as an observer, as long as we don’t get caught, Fudge has no reason to directly intervene in Hogwarts. Unfortunately, Dumbledore can’t find another person he trusts to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in a short time. He is also unwilling to let Snape be transferred...but you are right, my identity has indeed become a hidden danger." Professor Lupine's frown showed his worry.
At this time, the trolley for buying food came over, and Alan and Lupine also finished their conversation. He bought pumpkin pie, chocolate frog, Dobby beans and other snacks for Emily, and then he simply sat down and accompanied his little sister We ate snacks with Luna.
